Are you Brits rolling in the snow over there? It rained a bit in Tucson today but hardly enough to wet down the dust. 2002 we had only about 9" of rain and that is 4" below average. The year before was the same so we are so very dry. No good wildflowers again this year so maybe we will get lucky and have more rain next winter to give us a nice bunch of wildflowers when the BFA is here in 2004. Nothing is more beautiful than the desert covered in wildflowers. In a good year we have acres and acres of them. It got so warm the mockingbirds are singing and the roses are blooming. They think it is spring. Bette
